Eildon Hill Eildon Hill lies just south of Melrose, Scotland in the Scottish Borders, overlooking the town. The name is usually pluralised into “the Eildons” or “Eildon Hills”, because of its triple peak. The north hilltop (of three peaks) is surrounded by over 5 km (3.1 mi) of ramparts, enclosing an area of about 16 ha (40 acres) in which 300 level platforms have been cut into the rock to provide bases for turf or timber-walled houses. A Roman army signalling station was later constructed on the same site as this hill fort.
